RE-RUN: Motorsport Merch - the good, the bad and the palm tree

Season 2, Ep. 11

It's post-Easter break, it's not sunny and everyone is just a bit too tired to record anything valuable today. So we're sharing one of our fave episodes from season one, getting you ready for some F1 Miami bingo - how many palm tree tees can you spot next week? Go! 🌴


---

Original show notes:


Lins finally gets to share her hatred of 'themed merch' - basically anything with a palm tree/ flamingo/ cowboy hat on it - whilst she and Oz talk about the people that are doing it right (not looking at you, Max)


It's also time to talk about feeding an army in the paddock, and why all that glitters in F1 hospitality isn't gold, especially if eating dairy makes you vom and you've spent £5k on a ticket, awks


Some links for you lovely people


🇫🇷 Enchanté - DR doing it right


🔠 A dull press release announcing an exciting F1 x ASSC x UNDFTD collaboration (who needs vowels anyway?)


🦩 McLaren x Reiss not bringing flamingoes to British high street retail


🤠 McLaren x Levi's bringing the cowboy to a saloon bar near you


🙊 NSFW! Valentino Rossi being naughty


🎌 Lewis doing cool Japanese shit


👚 Parc Fermé being absolute creative legends


💁‍♀️ F1Toni reclaims the Sunday Fangirl cliché


🦪 Caviar is extra at the Miami GP


🌮 But they did do some awesome local food joint pop-ups


🏎️ Rabab Tantawy AKA Babs doing her thing


🖌️ Babs doing her other thing (her epic Dubai studio for artists)

    34:40||Season 2, Ep. 23
    We're very tired. So you're getting a re-run. How many days until summer break...? 🫣-----------------What the hell do we do all day for 'work'?It's a fair question. Sometimes we don't actually know how to answer it.But with Oz fresh off the plane from a busy week at the Austin GP and Lins headlong into multiple projects for brands in F1, they both share an insight into what actually takes up their time when they're working.It's not saving lives but it is fun, so don't hate us too much 😘🎨 Our artwork was kindly made for us by NOT Wieden + Kennedy📧 Send us your questions to therestismotorsport@gmail.com and we’ll do our best to explain why the hell certain things happen (or don’t) in motorsport 🤷🏼‍♀️📱 Find Oz on Instagram @pandea and Lins on LinkedIn

  • 21. Let's Get Silverstoned

    20:07||Season 2, Ep. 21
    It's British Grand Prix week, the annual endurance event for anyone who works in F1. And this year, every team has decided to make things even busier by adding in dozens of fan events across the UK, which is bloody marvellous for fans, but slightly less marvellous for any team members hoping to get eight hours sleep in their own bed every night.Plus, Lins and Oz have watched F1 The Movie and... oh dang, we've run out of space to write our review.Notes🏎️ Everything happening on site at Silverstone🎨 Our artwork was kindly made for us by NOT Wieden + Kennedy📧 Send us your questions to therestismotorsport@gmail.com and we’ll do our best to explain why things happen (or don’t) in motorsport
  • 20. RE-RUN: How Can F1 Work Better With Creators?

    31:55||Season 2, Ep. 20
    In honour of an upcoming event for creators on July 1st 2025 with WTF Talent (formerly WTF1 Talent - guess they also got the cease and desist 😅), we figured this was worth a re-run episode. Disclaimer: the re-run is absolutely not because Lins and Oz are jet lagged/ hungover/ enjoying the sun/ tired/ uninspired*.*feel free to guess which adjectives apply to Lins and/ or Oz. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!— Original show notes — Ready for some motorsport hot takes? We got you.We’re diving into how rights holders can work better with creators who aren’t traditional broadcasters or official media partners - and how other sports get it right whilst motorsport doesn’t really get it, yet…Plus F1 Academy has bagged itself a new partner which is not something to be sniffed at these days - what will they bring to the series? (Spoiler: not the best liveries, soz)Links👩‍⚖️ Cease and desist, ye F1 creators🏀 NBA doing it right👯‍♀️ FQ x F1A🎨 Our artwork was kindly made for us by NOT Wieden + Kennedy📧 Send us your questions to therestismotorsport@gmail.com and we’ll do our best to explain why things happen (or don’t) in motorsport
